As an orthodontist, I meet a lot of moms who bring their kids in for Invisalign Teen treatments and consultations, or who themselves are getting their teeth straightened. Many confide that when their child doesn’t feel good about his or her appearance it affects every other area of their lives— which is what ultimately leads them to my office.

They tell me they want their kids to have a strong sense of self-esteem and not be attached to what others think and say about them; yet, as mothers, they bear witness to some unfortunate realities such as teen bullying and hearing that their children have been taunted for looking different, not fitting in, or having low confidence.

This is consistent with mounting research I have seen over the years. For example, in a study recently released by Align Technologies (makers of Invisalign and Invisalign Teen), over two thousand mothers where interviewed about whether their teens have it “tougher” than they did growing up. Resoundingly they said yes, with 64% saying it’s more challenging for them to feel safe at school, and 61% saying they are more likely to have to deal with bullies.

So this Mother’s Day I want to give moms across Brooklyn, Cedarhurst, Forest Hills and Rosedale one less thing to worry about. Amazing Smiles is offering Invisalgin Teen at an affordable, discounted price with $500 off when you commit to a treatment plan for your teen from now until June 1, 2016. And $750 off of Invisalign for mothers who wish to get their teeth straightened as well. No need to worry about quality of care either; our office is a Top 1% “Elite Status” Invisalign and Clear Braces provider.

Invisalign Teen is one of the easiest, most convenient and discrete ways to straighten teeth. The clear aligners are even removable for prom photos, spare rib eating or high contact sports. And with our state-of-the-art technology, you’re assured of the most comfortable and efficient processes available. With offices in Mill Basin, Brooklyn; Forest Hills and Rosedale, Queens; and Cedarhurst, Long Island, we are conveniently located.

Helping a child feel better about their smile and gain confidence in his or her appearance is no small thing, I can assure you. And, giving a mother one less thing to worry about is one of my greatest pleasures.
